Common Steps To Embed Power BI Report To Third Part Application - Power BI Embedded - Step By Step - Part Three

Overview
In this article, we will talk about how we can embed our Power BI report with third-party applications.
This article covers general steps which we need to perform.
Before we start, I would suggest you go to my previous articles.
Now, let’s get started!
To Embed the report, we need to follow the following steps.
  • Step 1: Create App Workspace in Power BI
  • Step 2: Publish your report to that Workspace
  • Step 3: Copy Workspace ID and Report ID
  • Step 4: Copy Client ID from Azure AD
  • Step 5: Generate Token
  • Step 6: Embed your content in your web application.
Now, let’s elaborate!
Step 1 - Create App Workspace in Power BI
  1. Open https://app.powerbi.com
  2. Create a new Workspace.


Step 2 - Publish Power BI report to app Workspace
  1. From Power BI Desktop, Go to Home > Publish > Select your App Workspace.
Step 3 - Copy Workspace ID and Report ID
  1. Open your Power BI report from Power BI Online


  2. Copy Report ID and Group Id from URL.

 
Step 4 - Copy Client ID from Azure AD
  1. We have already discussed how to register the application in Azure AD. Please refer to the following URL.
2. Open https://portal.azure.com
3. Go to Azure AD > App Registration > Select your registered Application > Copy Application ID

 
Step 5 - Generate Token
  1. The following diagram shows how Power BI API generates Embed Token.


  2. We will use an Azure Function to do the bulk of the work.
  3. Fist we perform AJAX request to get token.
  4. Azure function will authenticate with the Azure AD and Generate Access token which will invoke the Power BI API to construct a JSON response that will include an Embed Token.
  5. The Embed Token allows the client (Power BI JavaScript Library) to embed Power BI content.
We will discuss the coding portion in our next article!
Step 6 - Embed Content in your web application
We will discuss this step in my next article!
Conclusion
These are the common steps to Embed Power BI report to your application. We will discuss more about it in my next article! Stay connected.

Overview Sometimes, there is a situation where when we open a report and click on any visual it accidentally nudges a chart a little bit to the right or left. Sometimes, by mistake when viewing a report, the arrangement of visuals scatters a little bit. Microsoft rolls out one new amazing feature to resolve this issue, that is, Lock Objects in Power BI. Advantages of using this feature When our purpose is to only view a report, this feature is a boon for us. Visualization’s position is not changed. Saves a lot of the developer's time to resolve the position related issues. Note   -  This feature is not saved with the report. So, every time you open a report, you need to enable this feature. Now, let’s understand this feature in a brief manner. To understand this, I will first show you one report in which I have not enabled “Lock Objects” feature. Step 1 The below screenshot shows my report which doesn’t have the enabled Lock Objects feature. ...

How to partition or split DataTable in C#?

Today we will discuss how we can divide or split a very large data table into fixed size of chunks? Scenario: Suppose there is a data table which has 1000 Rows. When you perform for each loop on data table and read each row at that time it will take too much time. If we devide 1000 Rows datatable into 10 fixed sizes (e.g. 100 Rows) datatable, It will take less time. Let's check how to achieve it. Here is a code. private static List<DataTable> SplitTable(DataTable originalTable, int batchSize) { List<DataTable> tables = new List<DataTable>(); int i = 0; int j = 1; DataTable newDt = originalTable.Clone(); newDt.TableName = "Table_" + j; newDt.Clear(); foreach (DataRow row in originalTable.Rows) { DataRow newRow = newDt.NewRow(); newRow.ItemArray = row.ItemArray; newDt.Rows.Add(newRow); i++; if (i == batchSize) ...
